True Friends Are My Heroes

I don't know where to begin.
Sometimes if you love someone, you must let them go.
Even when you tear their hearts to pieces.
And you feel like walking scum.

I needed freedom
The way things used to be
To help blossom responsibility and independence sometimes only tough love works best.
I'm just like a parent, worrying about my "child".
My child will be okay, I know he will.
He is smarter and more resilient then he gives himself credit for.
I will always love him.
I just can't be his parent anymore.

I am so torn and hurt inside.
Confused, dazed and at my wits end.
Friends have come to me offering comfort and shoulders to cry on.
You never realize what you have until you need it.
True friends are my heroes.
